Barretskyne

Aka Barretskine

A ruined city in the Drosky Mountains to the east of the Pagan Mountains in the north of central Aladar. It was razed to the ground by demonic forces in late 798 WK.

Currently: - To 810WK
A completely ruined city, without a living soul inside or close to the wall. Few people visit, fewer return. No plant grows within half a mile of the walls.

No one travels the great Barrets Pass anymore and instead they travel much further east through the smaller and lesser Drosky Pass between southern Aquila and northern Aladar.

Mists around Barretskyne

The Michaeline chapter house at Barretskyne has reported that on the 8th of Seedtime - Spring 810 a huge field of mist has grown around the ruins centred on the old city and extending for at least a mile around the city.
At the end of spring (21st of Blossom 810) five of the hardiest brothers volunteered to investigate the mists and only 1 came back and he was in a seriously damaged state both mentally and physically and he was unable to say anything coherent about the mists until his death on 5th Meadow 811. 6 more brothers went into the mist on the day after the summer solstice (16th of Heat 811) and 2 returned with no apparent ill effects but they reported losing their brothers in the mists between heartbeats until they wandered out and returned to the chapter house.
Brother Waldemar Ţepes, the commendatory abbot has since forbidden any further investigation of the mist and the brothers are fervently praying for the return of their old leader Abbot Richard Blung who has been on a ‘pilgrimage’ since 804.

Local Geography

Michaelines chapter house.
To the south of the city is a Michaelines chapter house (fort) supporting close to 100 members, normally. However, at the moment, there are only around 32 members. Normally it is led by the good and fair minded Richard Blung who is a Namer and is very tolerant of mages. He is currently absent and has been since late 804AP.
